The basecamp originally consisted of one main building, used as a command post and makeshift interrogation center, as well as a few small outbuildings that had been stripped by retreating Serb forces. The other buildings were destroyed previously by bombing during Operation Allied Force. Troops stationed at the base during Operation Joint Guardian camped around the main building in tents and in their vehicles, patrolling Gnjilane and the surrounding villages from Camp Monteith. A motor pool consisted of temporary shelters set up in a field across the road from the headquarters building. Seabees began construction of more permanent structures, with plumbing and electricity, in July 1999, including a vast number of semi-permanent barracks.
